hey /g/. Having issues with my rig. My hard drive seems to have developed a lot of bad sectors. I used a HD scanner and it found 400+ bad sectors before it crashed. It was clean up to about 82%. Not sure how many bad sectors it had. Is there a program that can block or repair these bad sectors? I'd even accept a huge loss in capacity. Money is tight. I don't want to buy a new HD. Probably 5 years old now.

No, your head is crashing and it's going to be a progressive failure.
A few bad sectors happens occasionally. That many means it's dying. If there's anything you want saved get it off now, since you may only get one read of it as the head destroys what's under it.

oddly enough windows version of check disk says everything is fine. Probably a useless program.
Any recommendations?
I looked into long term data storage but the only real fool proof method is M discs. Which last forever but require a certain disc drive and can only get one write. Space is limited but price per gig is not terrible. 5 bucks for a 100 gig disc.
